Customer Reviews
This place is a true hidden gem for barbecue enthusiasts in Sun Prairie! The moment you step out of your car, you’re greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of smoked meat that sets the perfect tone for the meal. The atmosphere inside is incredibly cozy, laid-back, and welcoming—making it an ideal spot for a family dinner or a casual get-together with friends. The service is absolutely top-notch; the staff is incredibly friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The location is very convenient, easy to find, and offers hassle-free parking. It is clear that they put their heart and soul into everything they smoke. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to everyone
Primal ‘Cue is a nice little spot, and super underrated! The St. Louis ribs are incredibly tender, a contender for the best BBQ in the Madison area. The ribs are definitely the star of the show! The rib tips were fantastic as well. They fall right off the bone, are ridiculously juicy, and smoked to perfection. The sauce they use is perfectly balanced. Also, their mustard fields sauce is probably the best mustard-BBQ we’ve tried in the area. They have different daily specials. The brisket burgers exceeded expectations by a landslide. A perfect char on the outside, juicy tender ground brisket inside- allover a perfect burger experience. The tacos they have on Tuesdays were full of flavor. We do wish they had a brisket taco, as opposed to the ground brisket! The pork and chicken tacos defi
Highs: The owner was very kind and friendly. He took time to introduce himself and talk with us. Lows: Many of the meats we ordered were not hot. They did give us some hot food, though, with no problems. Nonetheless, the menu items didn't have that BBQ "addictiveness" I'm used to. Maybe we'll give them a future try again.
The food is very good. You order your food at the counter and then find a table and it's brought out to you when ready. We had a pork sandwich and the ribs. The meat was tender and tasty even without the sauces. You can choose from a variety of sauces and the two we chose were quite good. The cheesy potatoes as a side were excellent. There is a small bar with a decent selection of draft beers. We will be back!
Firstly, support small businesses!!! Secondly, please do not sleep on the breakfast at Primal'Cue! I came here for my birthday breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. Great friendly service and a really cool indoor space. Help them keep this Sunday breakfast up and running! ❤️ This was our first visit and most certainly not our last. Everything was amazing - the biscuits perfectly buttery with just the right crunch. The gravy was peppery, thick (but not too thick) and just the right amount of spice. The bagel was soft and fluffy, the bacon beautifully crispy. Also have to mention, these are great portions for the price!! You can’t tell from pictures how big the bagel was, but it was huge! 5 stars all around here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t wait to try their dinner menu!!
